KAHLES K540i 5-40x56 Overview

Featuring powerful magnification, a large objective lens, and a suite of special functions, the Kahles 5-40x56 K540i Riflescope is built for long-range shooting. Its 40x magnification provides a clear look at a target hundreds of yards away, while the richly detailed, first focal plane SKMR4+ reticle shows precise holds and the wide elevation and windage ranges enable dialing long trajectories. Impact point corrects at 1/10 MRAD per click. The Twist Guard dial on the left-mounted windage turret prevents accidental adjustment without having to fumble with a lock. The parallax dial is found on the elevation turret and corrects from 20 yards to infinity.

A large 36mm maintube provides the space for the 29 MRAD elevation and 12 MRAD windage adjustment ranges. The housing is nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to make it waterproof and resistant to internal fogging in sharp temperature changes.

Optical Performance
  • Broad 5-40x zoom range offers exceptional view of distant targets.
  • Large 56mm objective lens draws in the light required to ensure views remain bright and clear in low or challenging light, and when targeting at extremely long range on maximum magnification.
SKMR4+ Reticle
  • First focal plane placement retains accurate reticle subtensions at all magnification to improve accuracy
  • Modified ranging duplex crosshair design
  • Short, thick non-illuminated outer posts on horizontal and upper vertical axes
  • Graduated "Christmas tree" on lower half provides easy hold-off and ballistic drop for accurate long-range shooting without having to adjust the turrets or provide additional elevation room when elevation turret adjustment has hit maximum
  • Etched on glass for permanence without the possibility of shifting over time
  • Variable reticle brightness to enable precise brightness based on personal preference or situation
  • Runs on one included CR2032 battery
Turret Details
  • Precise 0.1 MRAD impact point correction
  • Up to 29 MRAD elevation adjustment for long ranges
  • 12 MRAD windage adjustment range
  • Finger-adjustable zero-stop exposed turrets for fast adjustments in the field, left-side windage turret
  • TWIST GUARD windage turret has freely rotating end cover that prevents accidental adjustments
  • Space-saving parallax adjustment collar on the base of the elevation turret to enable fast correction without the need for another turret
  • Dedicated illumination control turret with variable intensity rheostat for precise reticle brightness
Use and Handling
  • Fast focus eyepiece for quick zooming in any weather
  • +2 to -3 diopter range
  • 3.6" eye relief to present a generous eye box allowing more flexibility for mounting and more space to accommodate high-caliber recoil
Construction
  • Robust 36mm single-piece maintube allows full light throughput from the large objective while providing the strength required to hold up to the heavy recoils from high-caliber rifles used in long-range shooting/hunting.
  • Scope is contained in a lightweight and strong aluminum housing.
  • Matte-black anodized finish reduces glare and blends with all environments.
  • Being nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed makes the riflescope waterproof and resistant to internal fogging in extreme conditions.
